The first object of any tyrant in Whitehall would be to make Parliament utterly subservient to his will, and the next to overthrow or dimimish trial by jury. [It] is more than an instrument of justice and more than one wheel of the constitution: it is the lamp that shows that freedom lives.

Lord Patrick Devlin (1956)

Rather busy at the moment working on the new, much improved, Liberty Central. So for the moment you’ll have to make do with a little visual commentary on ACPO’s ‘consultation’ with its members in regards to the possibility of ‘instant justice’ - remember this is Blair’s idea they’re talking about…

I think that says it all, don’t you?

Oh, as ever, share and enjoy…
